Save KNOPPIX configuration in 5.3.1

[dstarke]

I am missing the above menu item in the KNOPPIX menu. It is there in 5.1.1. As I understand it, this writes a config.tbz file to a drive which is read at startup to configure the desktop and initialize certain user parameters. Is there a script to do this I can call from the command line? Can I make this file manually?

Any help greatly appreciated.

same here.

another post says something about 'session save', but doesn't explain it.

Under Knoppix 4.02 which has the save configuration item in the Knoppix menu entry, I went into the menu editor to see what gets executed when the menu item is clicked. I found the following:

/usr/sbin/saveconfig

See if this app is on the 5.3.1 version anywhere and try it.

It's there.

Hi all,

I'm having the same problems with "/usr/sbin/saveconfig" as well. I'm able to save the two files to "/media/sda1".

BUT when I reboot and type "knoppix myconfig=/media/sda1" it never picks up the changes and boots into default knoppix.

I've tried saving the configs to both an msdos and ext2 partition. I looked over the cheatcodes on the DVD and tried booting with "knoppix myconf=/media/sda1" and "knoppix config=scan"...but still no joy.

Has anyone gotten "saveconfig" to work on 5.3.1DVD???


Thanks all for your time.

Hi,

this functionality seems to be taken over by the option "Create a persistent knoppix disk image" in the configuration menu. All settings including X-server, screen resolution, configured printers etc. are preserved and are restored by using the cheat code "home=scan".

Hope this helps.
